Moon rising at the beach

The sun has one kind of splendor,the moon another and the stars another;and star differs from star in splendor.

1 Corinthians 15:41

Greetings Sweet Peas

So how are ya?? Having a goodweek thus far?? Hope so!My week has been a good one, other thanbeing a lil tired, guess that late Sat. nite,early Sunday morning and all dayer finallycaught up with us! lolBut it was well worth it...............Will tell you about it.................

#1

I am thankful

that we ran into a couple that used to go to our church

years back, and we hadn't seen them in 5 years. We

ran into them in Target and we yakked awhile, then we

parted ways, and we went to Walmart and ran into them

again. I had found out from his wife that he loves Yomii

frozen yogurt too, so when we were leaving Walmart

hubby said well, if yall decide to go for yomii tonight we

will probably see yall again. We ran to Lowe's real

quick and then went on to Yomii and there they were,

so we all sat outside and had a great time catching up. Me thinks it was a divine appointment........

especially since we never run into anyone we know,

but upon rare occasion. Turned out to be a really fun night tho!

These are the last of our vacation photos
a parasailor - saw them many times everyday.

#2

I am thankful

that hubby and son seemed to have a really nice

Father's Day. Scott, Megan and Brooklyn came

in the early afternoon, and we had lunch and just as

they were leaving Dee and Jerry were arriving,

soon after Susan, my SIL came too. We all had

dinner together that evening and sat around and

talked and made a day and a night of it.

Hubby liked his gifts, and good I got those sur-

prises cause he didn't find a grill he likes yet, so

we are still looking....Most are just not that well

made, and looks like they would rust out very

quickly! But we will keep looking and eventually

we will find the perfect one.

It was another Fun Family Day..............

Can you see the White Egret??

#3

I am thankfulthat I found sometime to get back to making my cards again, have done 3 this week, and the 4th is in process, but was very pleased with how they turned out. Always a good thing! lol

for a great day with Miss Brooklyn on Wed., The last few times we have seen her, she hasn't been her happy and fun lil self, course, she wastired, but her Grammy was a lil concerned about her, since Mommy has returned to part time work. Today she was great and like her normal self, so this Grammy is greatly relieved...........She is such a precious and happy lil darling!

#7I am thankfulfor fun things you see that just make youbelly laugh like what we saw last nighton yahoo news.If you didn't see my post yesterday andwant to Laugh a little, just click here!

Same sailboat but with a posterized affect!

#8I am thankfulfor the La. Senator who has left the democratic party to go back to therepublican party, because he has seenthe truth about it. Enough Said........accept Praise the Lord , hope there willbe many more that see the light!

This was the normal waves we had all week and altho we hadsome rain we also had plenty of sunshine as well.

#9I am thankfulfor a new book I just got and have onlyread the first chapter but think it is gonna be another winner. It is by Denise HildrethJones again, remember I said I thought I would probably get another one of her books cause I enjoyed the first one so much "Secrets over Sweet Tea", well, the new book was a precursor to the Secrets of Sweet Tea, and it is called Reclaiming your heart and tells about her life, andalso teaches you how to keep a closecheck on your own heart.If you are interested she has a websitewww.reclaiminghearts.com

This was the morning we left, dreary and rougher seas#10I am thankfulfor book authors and even blog authorswho write things that touch or speakto our hearts and lives.

Looks more like a moon now that it is darker.#11I am thankfulfor rain, this is sort of a bitter/sweetthanks. I love all the benefits of the rainbut am a wee tired of all the dark cloudsthunder, lightning and overcast skies and the rain. I tried to steal just a few mins.out in the sun numerous times today,At times it was beautiful and sunny,but by the time I was headed out or got out there and set up........the sun went in.....felt a bit like someone was pranking me. Sometimes I thinkthe Lord has a very good senseof humor! lolWell........Maybe tomorrow!!

Another shot of beach the day we left, made it mucheasier to leave I have to say!

#12I am thankfulfor shish-ka-bobs, we haven't had them in ages, yet we really love them,So.... guess what I am making for din din tonight, just hope it isn't raining when it comes time to cook those babies! lol

Well...... That's All Folks...........Looking forward to having you come by,Be sure to say hello............Have a Funtastic Friday and a Wondrous Weekend!Love, Hugs andHumorous Blessings,Nellie

#1. I always run into parents or previous Kindergarten students! I just met a previous Kindergarten student the other day when I was at the vet's office! (She was newly hired!)#2. It is always such an enjoyable time of blessing when family is together!#3. Do you have a site for those?#4. I used to use the glitter pens when I was teaching. I still have some, but forgot about them until you mentioned it. They are probably dried up by now!#5. I was just thinking the other day of making one of the "cubes" with Brooklyn's pictures on it. They would be like the "dice" people use to have hanging from their review mirrors. I have a pattern and you run it off on photo paper and there is a folding method to make it a cube!#6. She loves to play peek-a-boo with you and her blanket!#7. There was a doctor reporting on one of the Christian networks I watch that shared how important it is to belly laugh! The chemicals your body puts off makes your body healthy!#8. Yea, I have been praying for our Congress and GOD's Holy Spirit to influence "the Fear of GOD" to come back to our government!#9. They are books I need to put on my book list!#10. Isn't it inspiring! The Holy Spirit works His ministry through so many of these people!#11. I have always loved rainy days! It gives me such a calming to my soul! My yard is looking great again too, however, the flower beds of weeds are getting tall. I need to get George's weed killer. He usually does it for me, but is not feeling well these days.#12. I put mine in the oven. It's too far and to much trouble to go out to the back garage to use my grill. I haven't used it in a long time. Jim might want to check it out and take it.Love to you and yours, Susan

Always remember there will always be someone smarter,
prettier, more talented, more personable, more well off,
more gifted, more liked, or more spiritual, but don't be
jealous or intimidated, it is a huge waste of your time
and energy..............
and Always remember you are that to someone else!
